- Caramelizing for desserts
Pure cane sugar is a staple in kitchens for its ability to sweeten. It can be stirred into hot beverages to achieve desired sweetness. In baking, it contributes to the browning of crusts, the tenderness of cakes, and the crispness of cookies. It is also used to create simple syrups for cocktails and desserts, or to form a rich caramel when heated.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store this sugar in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will prevent it from clumping and absorbing odors from the environment. Keep it away from moisture.
